ADHESIVE COMPOSITION.

.the Province of Quebec, in the Dominion;

of Canada, have invented certain new and usefullmprovements in Adhesive Compositions; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,fand exact description of the same.' I

The present invention relates to an adhesive compositlon and'the object of this invention is to provide a composition of this character, that will be useful in putting up wall papers, burlaps and paintings as the dampness or frost has -no efiect on it when applying it.

further object is to provide a composition of this character which will not freeze in low temperatures,and furthermore will not requireto be heated. before it is applied.

A better comprehension of the composition will be had fromthe accompanying de- -scription of the composition and method of preparing. V

In preparing one hundred pounds of this compositio :'1 0 lbs. of flour are thoroughly mixed with approximately 4 gallons of hot water.

2nd. The following ingredients are mixed in the proportions as'fo11ows:,in 4 gallons of boiling water 2 ounces of 1 lb. of rosin, 1 lb. of glue, 3; lb. of sugar of lead, 1 lb. of ammonium chlorid, 6 lbs. oflplaster and whiting, 1 lb. of saltpeter.

fter the above .mentioned ingredients have been thoroughly dissolved and mixed and while'the solution is still boiling, the

' flour paste composed of 10-lbs..of flour pre- I I allons of water are m xed pared with 4 I therewith and eft to rest for 24; houre.

Application filed November 22, 1919. 7 Serial Ito. 340,040.

The'mechanical combination of the flour- I paste and the other ingredientswill then be obtained during the above specified periodof time and the adhesive composition will be ready for use. 7

The most important ingredients forming part of the present composition consist ofthe flour paste, whiting, glue, plaster and ammonia.

In order that .the composition will stand freezing temperatures, caustic and saltpeter are used.

The object of using rosin and sugar of lead, is for, hardening the composition after its application.- y The above described composition is particularly adapted for putting up wall papers and burlaps at any temperature above or below 0 degree Fahrenheit.

Further it can be used on wet or frozen walls and. it will have the same adhesive qualities as if applied on a dry wall. -What I claim as my invention is An adhesive formed of 2 ounces ofca'us 05 tic,1 lb. of rosin, i lb,

of ammonium chlo'rid, 1} lb. of sugar of lead, 1 lb. of glue, 3 lbs.

1. lb. of saltboiling water, of flour mixed separately in approximately 4, llons of waten' gigned at Montreal, Quebec, Canada, this 22nd day of October, 1919.
